Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By FREDERICK M. WILE. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. —Open session* of the conference On limitation of armament, as far as they are compatible with progress, will he earnestly advovated by the American delegation. That high important decision was taken at the first meeting of the American commissioners—Secretary Hughes, Eilhu Boot, Senator Lodge and Senator Underwood—who were in session at the State Department continuously for three and a half hours Wednesday. The delegation was moved to adopt. In principle, the Idea of open sessions by what was described, after the meeting, as the unmistakable demand of the American people for the maximum amount of conference publicity. It was made plain that it will not be for the American delegates, but for the conference Itself, finally to decide the Question. But It Is certain that if there Is any prospect of obtaining open sessions. no obstructions will be forthcoming from President Harding’s representatives In the conference. There is no proposal that all conference sessions, or even any considerable number of them, shall be held in the open. What the American delegation is ready to support is a policy of throwing open as many sessions as can be held in public without retarding the real work of the conference. The session was the first occasion on which the American commissioners have come together. Secretary Hughes hitherto has only conferred with Messrs. Root, Lodge and Underwood individually. Another Joint session is Improbable before next week, but rne can be Summoned on short notice. Mr. Root holding himself in readiness to he in Washington as soon or as much as desired. The delegation did not see President Harding, but of course, will maintain eessant contact with him. The first formal action taken was to elect Basil Miles, native of Philadelphia and graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. secretary of the Amrioan dote-' gation. Each delegate in addition will have his own secretary. The conference

will elect Its secretary general, who may or may not be an American. In accord with custom and tradition, Secretary Hughes, as “foreign minister” of th power that summoned the conference, in at? 1 nrohohlMty will be elected its presiding officer. DISCUSS TABLE CONNECTIONS IN PACIFIC. Barring the decision to faTor "feasible” open sessions of the conference the American delegation confined Its deliberations to routine matters. After "getting acquainted with itself,” as one psrticpant pnt It, the delegation Inspected a vast mass of preliminary details submitted by Secretarv Hughes, headed by the agenda submitted to the Invited powers la Seuteir.bor. It was revesled for the first time that an Important addition recently w?s mode to the original agenda concerning “electrical communications in the Pacific.” Under that subject all questions relating to cables and wireless between America and Asia are comprehended, inctHidinc final regulation of the former German cables so long in dispute Icmong the United States. Great Britain, France. Italy and Japan, Holland, a conference partiepant in Far Eastern affairs, has an ownership interest in one of the cables. gsmretarv Hughes apprised the delegation that the State Department has established a special "Far Eastern and Faelflc Section.” which, in conjunction with the existing Far Eastern and Russian divisions of the department, has worked up an immense amount of conference material. This consists mainly of monographs on specific subjects and is being added to from day to day. When complete, it will pro nee rne American delegation with a storehouae of pertinent information. To that end the Carnegie endowment for international peace, at Washington, through its director. Dr. James Brown Scott, will cooperate with the delegation. Mr. Root is chairman of the endowment. Secretary Hughes made plain to his fellow delegates that the agenda proposed by the United States, wh'le it has encountered no objections among the invited powers, is elastic. It Is subject to amplification by any power that brings forward a subject considered suitable er-nference material. There is absolutely no bar In that regard. The material assembled by the War and Navy Departments, also was laid before the American delegation. It la exhaustive and highly informative, revealing not only a graphic picture of America’s present hour status among the armies and navies of the world, but outlining the pending plans aud future projects of other powers, as far as publicly known. It is expected the American delegation, between now and conference time, will consult periodically with Army and Navy leader* with a view to further elucidation of technictl phases of the armament problem. Secretary Hughes fully acquainted the delegation with the arrangemen s for the conference at the Pan-American Union building, where sessions will be held, and at the Navy Building, .where two whole wings have been aet aside for ofllces of all delegations, including that of the United States. —Copyright, 192.1, by Public Ledger Company.

MELBOURNE, Victoria, Australia— In 1535 a Tasmanian, John Raiman by name, having sailed across Bass Straits to the then deserted Port Phillip and taken a strcll for thirty miles inland, came upon a river called the Yarra which took his eye. Contrary winds had prevented him from sailing back to Tasmania, so ho killed time by walking about the banks of the Stream. That night he wrote In his diary: ‘‘This will be the site for a village.” 1 wonder what old John Batman would say if he could revisit that site eightysix years later, when 1 was there. The village which he saw in his mind's eye was revealed to me as Melbourne, capital of the commonwealth of Australia, with a population of almost three quarters of a million people, the ninth largest city in the British empire and the thirty- ' eighth city of the world In the point of population. A turf hut was the first building erected on the site, then a ready-made wooden house brought over from Tasmania and by degrees the village which Batman had predicted. It was from this very modest beginning that Melbourne has sprung. Its career as a city has been checkered. It grew much as other cities have grown in their early days by the advent of settlers who wanted more elbow room than they could find In Europe. Then It became the landing place of thousands of men from all over the world, .attracted by the discovery of fold in Victoria and had Us lavish boom! days when money was spent like water. In the height of the gold fever the old I

The photograph gives a splendid idea of the city's wide streets, regular blocks and big bnlldlng*.

wood house* were torn down and replaced by solid structures of more height which in their turn were torn down to make way for the great structures of modern Melbourne. NORTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST. When Melbourne was laid out Us principal streets were parallel to the Yarra River and that way they have remained, so that they run northeast and southwest. They are wide, Just a mile long and are crossed at right angles by wide streets every eighth of a mile. The center of th* business part of the city is a mile long and half a mile wide. At the eastern and western ends the streets are at the summits of geDtle grades which slope down to meet in what once was a marshy gully. It Is a peculiarity of the five long streets of the business section that each of them has a poor relation, narrow streets midway of the blocks that Amur leans would call alleys, but they are far from being alleys, for upon them front stores and office buildings fully ns imposing as some of those on the wide streets. The method of naming them Is rather confusing, for you will have Collins street and Its narrow street. Little Collins; Bourke street and Little Bourke street, and so on. However, it is these little streets which enable the city to compress Into such a small district its really great business, for the five principal streets are a hundred feet with. I have just finished perus’ng a gnide book to the city of Melbourne, which was a delirium of the writer's art. Any one reading ,t and not seeing the city itself would think that here was to be found something magnificent and extraordinary. To me Melbourne is Just like any other cosmopolitan city. Looking at a picture of its business section you would not see any striking difference to a picture of many of our larger American cities. Walking down the street, however, you would begin to notice little things that we do not see at home. Its street cars are operated by underground cables like we had in the United States thirty years ago. and they are painted vivid Hue* or greens or reds. It is done with a purpose, however "so that he who cannct read or who may forget names easily, can get the right car by picking it from its color alone. The conductors and motormen are garbed in khaki. The former is decorated with strips of paper pinned to hi; blouse by safety pins. The strips are vari-oolored and numbered and are the cash register*, for the conductor must punch on these tally sheets the money he receives for fares. The different eolort represent different distances and different fares. The cheapest ride Is two miles for 4 cents. Traffic direction in Melbourne is a double affair, for at the street intersection* stand a policeman and an employe of the railways. The officer majestically waver vehicles and pedestrian* across at intervals and, in unison with hi* arm signals the street car signal man waves flags of green or white to move the cars. At night lanterns replace the flags. Pedestrians must cross these streets at right angles. The law frowns upon Jaywalkers in Melbourne. Like in all British cities, traffic moves on the left-hand side of the street which Is confusing to those who are used to the opposite system. Australians are splendid specimen* of manhood generally, but In Melbourne the; eeem to have grown taller and heavier

than elsewhere. Most of those you see on the streets are big men and they walk with a bit of a swagger and with a vigor and swing that speaks of the pink of physical condition. Perhaps the climate has something to do with it. Melbourne l* about as far south of the equator as Richmond, Va, Is north of it, but in Melbourne snow is unknown and the summers have only a few very hot days. All over the world you will hear people speak of Melbourne as a ‘‘sport y” city and it has a good deal of that reputation in Australia Partly this is due to the fact that the people like horse racing and snappy shows and rich dinners, and above all else, they like to bet a little. I found this out at the Brighton Club. It Is quite the thing In Melbourne to

date things from the year that so-and-so won the cup, A great many of you would know without further explanation Just what the cup is, fur the running of the Melbourne Cup at Fleinlngton race course In November each yar Is one of the most famous evputs of the world. Why shouldn’t it be when as many as 150.1X0 persons Jam ev<*ry vantage point at Flemlugton on that day, and everywhere in Hie English world men anxiously hover about telegraph wi.-“ and newspaper offices to learn who wo.v the cup?

tor no race is run, even in the most remote districts, without having some thousands of dollars wagered upon it. Immense fortunes change hands each year on the results In the cup race, for it Is the one day of the year when almost every Australian plunges some. From high official to the most lowly shop girl they lay aside a little money to wager on their favorite for the cup. From all over the state of Victoria they come by the thousands to Melbourne on cup day. They come, too, from the other states, and for weeks ahead the hotels are flooded with re-

quests for reservations. Many of them find it impossible to *ee the race, bnt they are fairly well satisfied to bo even in the city where it is run. Betting in Auatralia is mostly done through bookmakers. The pari-mutuel, or totalistor machines, are not unknown aud they are tabooed by law, but at some race courses they run anyhow and the state takes Its 2% per cei.t of the money wagered out of the 10 per cent which the club holds out for letting the machines operate. Cup day in Melbourne is, followed by theater night, for everybody takes in a show even though it be only a movie. The theater managers know full well that any old kind of a show will do, too, and that Is why the week when the cup

is run never finds any high-priced performances on the boards. Next to horse racing the Australian is devote! to cricket. it is a game which has been popular with the British for generations. Personally I never could understand it and appreciate It, but I can understand the enthusiasm with which Britons regard it, for I have seen the same attitude among our own people toward baseball. While we were in Melbourne a series of matches was being played between teams representing Australia and England. I am told that these matches attract crowds of 40,000 to .'>oooo, aud I have seen men and women alike Jammed about open air acoreboards where the plays of the matches were being posted, cheering wildly when a favorite makes a good play or groaning when the rival* are leading. It 1* our own love for baseball, but lavished upon another game. The papers here are full of long stories about the matches and about the players and columns of letters from ardent fans discussing the merit* of the teams. Reading them through you will find hits here and there of the fair-play spirit which characterises the average Brltou, or the spirit of "fair dlnkum," as they call the square deal out here. SLANG MUCH USED IN MELBOURNE. Probably it Is Melbourne's so-called sporty spirit which is responsible for the great amount of slang which is used by its people. The shop windows use slang often In attracting attention to their displays; even a perfectly raspectful clerk or servant wil’ spring it on you. The use of slang seems pretty nearly us general In Melbourne is it dues in Chicago. It may Interest you, too, to learn that most of our American slang had its birth in the days of the forty-niner, when Australians flocked to California to try their lack In the gold fields. At least so a learned professor out here wrote to one of the papers the other day in reply to the published charge that Australians seemed inclined to adopt many American sins without adopting a few American virtues at the same time. The particular thing which was under flro was the habt of eating ice cream cones in public. The women of Melbourne are good looking as a rule and dress well and far more modestly than the styles in vogue when we left the Unltod States. They admit, however, that they use great quantities of cosmetics and face powders to help out their complexions because they say that the streets are so dusty that a woman’s face won’t stay clean unless she powders and paints. Personally I think that is Just one of their little Jokes at their own expense, for I saw hundreds of fair, rosy-cheeked misses who would fare well If put up in competition with their English cousins. It might work Just as well if the cosmetics were poured on the streets, for when a wind comes up, as it often does as the forerunner of rains that come down at intervals for two or three days at a time, Melbourne is truly a swirl of dust. There doesn’t seem to be our systematized effort to Bweep and sprinkle regularly. There are many fine homes out in the residence districts, and in the suburbs of Greater Melbourne and St. Kilda rood, leading from the city proper to one of

its famous bathing beaches, is one of the most lovely boulevards I have seen out here. But the homes which are nearest the city seem strangely lacking In front yards and lawns and trees and shrubbery. That is, they appear strange for Australia, where a love for beautiful flowers and shrubs amounts to almost a passion. One of the most magnificent libraries and museums combined in Australasia is In Melbourne. It is a splendid structure of stone exterior and marble Interior, but, oddly enough, the builders surmounted it with a huge dome of con Crete, which Is said to be the largest in the world. Stone buildings with brick facings are amoag the most favored, as quarrying and brick-making are among the industries which flourish near Melbourne. Tanning, woodworking, distilling and brewing, woolen manufacturing of all kinds and the handling of the raw products of farm and dairy and vineyard and orchard are the principal industries of the city. It also is a shipbuilding and ironwork center and probably has more printing establishments than any other Australian city. With the vast quantities of fruit which come Into Melbourne from its tributary districts the city's Jam and preserve and confectionery industries have shown a remarkable increase he the Inst few years and the state government has taken steps to help them Dy encouraging the raising of sugar beets in the rich soil of the Gippsland district.

Money was appropriated by the state Parliament to establish experimental plots and to subsidize private concerns by investing $2 for every $1 of private capital One such company was formed but got into difficulties and the government took over the plant for making sugar. It lay Idle for a dozen years, but the government then reopened it and is now operating It successfully. Victoria probably has tha only state govern uient In tho world which is in the sugar business. HUGE STATION FOR SUBURBAN TRAINS. Melbourne has one railroad station tlint fs a huge structure of modern architec Pure and one that is rather decreplr from age. The big station Is used for suburban trains while the through express*** and mall trains use the old one. Perhaps this 1* as it should be, for the suburban traffic of Melbourne has assumed great proportions. Like all other railways in the slate, with the exception of twentyfive miles, the suburban lines aye owned by the state. By act of Parliament they are being converted Into electrical lines In order that thj high speed aud increased frequency of trains may take care of the demand. The director, or as we would call him, the general msnuger of all the railroads In the stat* of Victoria Is Harold W. Clapp of the United States. He is a young man of splendid ability and great energy. There are 5,500 miles in the state. The municipal government spent a cool million dollars building a city market house In Melbourne. It Is a three-story

Do You Look Forward To a Good Night's Rest ?

Do you regularly anticipate a refreshing sleep? Or do you dread going to bed, only to stare, sleepless, at the walls? The difference between sleeping and staring is simply a matter of nerves. When your nervous system is in a sound condition, you are certain to sleep well. But when your nerves are worn out and beyond your control, your rest is broken and your awakening leaves you languid and irritable. Doctors know that much of the nerve disorders result from tea and coffee drinking. The drugs in these drinks over-stimu-late, often causing the serious ills which result from disturbing the regular bodily functions. It is for your health’s sake that many doctors now say you should quit

structure of brick which houses hundreds of stalls and here in the early hours of the morning are held the auctions of produce and fish and the housewife comes to do her kitchen shopping. One part of the building ig given over to storage chambers for poultry, butter, rabbits and so on intended for transmission overseas, for the market house lies in a bend of the river close by the wharts at which are moored the ships which come to Port Phillip. The Melbourne visitor will bu impressed by the great number of churches of the city. They are of all denominations and range from modest brick structures to the great cathadrals of the Anglican and Roman Catholic faiths. If they are not well attended it is not because there are many things to divert the mind on Sunday, for In Melbourne, as In all Australasia, the Injunction to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy is rigidly obeyed. All business, save hotels, restaurants and drug stores, close up tightly aud over the city broods a restful quiet. All over the world the people are in the habit of referring to the people of the United States as “money mad.” They point to the long hours which we keep in shop and store and office and to the short periods for rest aud recreation which we give ourselves. I haven’t heard any Australians so far forget their natural courtesy as to express that opinion of us, but the example which they set us speaks as loud as words. In Melbourne, as in all Victoria, the stores are forced to close at 6 p. m. on four daye a week, may stay opeu until 9 or 10 p. m. on Friday, but must close at 1 p. m. Saturday and remain closed until Monday morning This gives the clerk* a chance to rest and get out in the open and is literal carrying out of the principle of "Eight hours labor, eight hours rest and eight hours recreation,” which „ the workers of Australia sounded to the world in 1854 A monument of the eight-hour working day stands in Melbourne up- near the buildings of the state government, some of which also are used to house the federal government's departments until that day In the future when the commonwealth will transfer Its activities to the site selected for a federal capital in the state of Now South Wales. A* I said In a previous article, the state gov rriunrnt* of Australia still take precedence o er the common, wealth government. That of Victoria is interesting and I shall tell you about It and some of Its activities In the article next week.

RALSTON SAYS REPUBLICANS RALLY TO HIM (Continued From Page One.) publican Totes than will my opponent. I have had enough congratulations and pledges of support from Republicans to warrant 137 saying this. “That any party, or any paper, If you please, can say there is no issue In this campaign aud that we should turn our backs upon these hundreds of Republicans who are coming to us —l WELCOMES REPUBLICANS TO PIT OCT FIRE. "We welcome the Republicans because they see that the house Is burning down and they are not good citizen* if they do not come to help us put out the Are. We believe that they are letter citizen* than partisan*.” Mr. Ralston said that a vote for Mr. Shank was a vote for a wide open town, and hence an Invitation for the opening of pit/alls for boys and girls. He declared Mr. Shank double-crossed the jitney bus men. "The Jitney bus men did not come to mo to ask me what I would do for them, so I did not have to express myself for them. “This war never would have been won if wo had had soldiers like our noble Lew,” said Mr. Ralston. In other speeches during the evening at West and Morris street*, Lambert and Belmont avenue*, and Weat Washington street and Elder avenue, Mr. Ralston again expressed opposition to th* anti-open vault ordinance, which persour interested in the solution of Indianapolis’ tremendous sanitary problem fought foi ten years to get enacted, and said that Mr. Shank had misnamed him when hr dubbed him "Butter Milk" Ralston. The Initials *‘B. M.” said Mr. Ralston, stand for "Better Man." "I want you to dedicate your vote to Mother.” he concluded. Frank T. Hawley, who was Introduced

1 as a former president of the switchmen’* union, declared that Mr. Shank is the sot of organized labor because he wanted policemen to ride on the street cars during the street car strike and had charges preferred ngalnst thirty-three policemen whe refused to ride cars. In numerous north side speeches Democratic speakers hay* attacked Mr. Shank on the oppositf ground that he sided with the union men In the car strike. ‘‘The progress of the labor movement Is due to Its strikes and not to its conservatisms," declared Mr. Hawley. “In the near future by reason of the present depression and the oppression of those who employ yon what confidence can you have In Lew Shank. He laid down on the tesmsters.” Mr. Sexton in introducing Mr. Hawley declared that “when Lew Shank was mayor before he crossed the union men and union sympathizers by not sticking on the Job.” L. Ert Slack, former United States district attorney and at present the special prosecutor in charge of the Government’s prosecution of union coal miners and operators for violation of the Lever act through strikes during the war period, followed Mr. Hawley. “I’m still connected with the Government. I wish that I wasn’t but I am,” said Mr. Slack. SLACK RAPS JEWETT ADMINISTRATION.

Mr. Slack was among those who rapped s he Jewett administration. “We all know that Indianapolis is not well governed now,” he said. “I am not sperklng politically. I am Just telling what everybody knows. We’re just a very badly misgoverned city.” He said he doesn’t care how much Lew Shank "cusses the News,” and then praised the News. “Oh. yes, and I’m not forgetting the other papers. It doesn't make any difference to me what the Daily Times says. I don't know who it is for and I don’t think that it knows Itself yet. It also doesn’t matter to me what the morning taper is for.” Mr. Slack pointed to his record in the State Legislature, where he said he was listed In a labor publication as "a friend of all the labor Dills.” He said he got protection from the Central Labor Union In moving his household goods into the city during the teamslers’ strike because the police would not promise him protection. "It 1* far better that we should live under Democratic rule than under conditions during the latter part of the Shank administration and the whole of the Jewett administration.” NOMINATED TO DEFEAT MACHINE. ’4ae speakers kept pecking away at the Jewett administration. Thomas E. Garvin, nominee for city Judge, came in and said: "Shank was nominated not because the people were so strong for him, as because people were, ao opposed to Tom Howe and because the people were opposed to th political machine that was back of him. The way they could defeat that machine was to vote for Shank, he said. "Shank has made a deal, the terms of which are as follows; In return for the support that a certain crowd will give him at the polls this fall be will support Charles W. Jewett for Congress next year. If you supported Shank In opposition to that Jewett machine he has sold you out.” Ami them from James E.

The day after election you'll find the same old crowd handed together again to defeat the Democrats in the county elections next year.” Mr*. Maude Swift Anthony and Thomas F.

30 LASHES AND 10 YEARS GIVEN GIRL ASSAILANT Jury's Recommendation of Clemency Kept Court From Giving Death Sentence. SANDWICH, Ontario, Oct 13.—Thirty lashes and ten years' imprisonment was the sentence passed on James Grant. 23, for an attempted attack upon a 10-year-old girl. The sentence was Imposed by Justice Logie after a Jury had found the prisoner guilty but recommended clemency. I The recommendation saved Grant from a death sentence, the justice announced.

He decreed that the thirty lashes should be administered in three whippings, consisting of ten lashes each. The whippings will be administered at Kingston prison under the direction of a medical officer. Justice Logie, in passing sentence, said he hoped the lashes would be a warning to men who “hang around corners looking for young women.”

"I have no objection to Mr. Ralston being a poke? player, but I do object to him accusing me of being backed by gamblers and presenting himself us a pillar of the church. “I don’t say you have the best met* in the city running for mayor, but you have only two candidates running and you must select the best one.C Mr. Shank declares that If elected ho will appoint a commute of business meh to make a survey of the police depart* ment upon which to base a roorgaulza* tion of it along business lines. He said he was not criticising Chief of Pollco Jerry Kinney, “because I believe hint to be a high grade police officer." It lA a wrong condition that thirteen police* woman are employed at headquarters re* porting what the other ten do, he said. "There is plenty of work for the entire force of policewomen out in the city.” If the citizens wish it, Mr. Shank said he favors another bridge over Fall Creek at Alabama, Delaware or New Jersey rtreets. and a cross town car line from Riverside I'ark to the north and soutk lines east of the park.
